Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has warned Manchester City he will "unleash" the power of the Anfield crowd when they meet on Sunday.

Rodgers wants to take full advantage of fired-up fans hoping the Premier League leaders can secure their first top-flight title since 1990.

Who will triumph in title showdown?

"We will unleash the supporters yet again on our opponents," said Rodgers.

"I sense a real nostalgia about the place, a feeling of the old Liverpool. It will drive us, not hold us back."

Liverpool won the league championship 11 times between 1972 and 1990, when they won the last of their 18 titles.

The Reds, who have five games remaining, take a four-point advantage over third-placed City into Sunday's game, but the 2011-12 champions have two games in hand.

Rodgers, whose side have a 100% home record this season against the four top-seven teams they have faced, said securing a Champions League place remains the priority because of the financial reward it brings.

Lawro's prediction

"Liverpool have been playing to a really high tempo at home and I would expect them to do that again. It will be interesting to see how City deal with that because they have not coped too well when teams have pressed them like that this season."

"We carry it every day of our lives here: manager, players, supporters," said Rodgers.

"The victims and the families are with us every day and that is why we work hard to ensure they can have some comfort from seeing their club move forward."

The game will begin at 13:37 BST, seven minutes later than usual, to recall the period when Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest was stopped because of events unfolding on the Leppings Lane terrace at the home of Sheffield Wednesday.
